Chemical Basis of Bioengineering I
Molecular docking is a computational technique used to predict the preferred orientation of one molecule, typically a drug candidate, when it binds to a target protein. This process is vital in rational drug design, allowing scientists to visualize how potential drugs interact with biological targets at the molecular level. By assessing these interactions, researchers can optimize drug candidates for better efficacy and reduced side effects.
congrats on reading the definition of molecular docking. now let's actually learn it.
